Linda Marchant, PGR, Coventry University — Managing Energy, Not Just Time
Linda Marchant’s PhD project looks at the motivations, experiences and professional networks of mid- or late-career professionals who undertake arts PhDs, echoing her own experience.
Her study journey has progressed from being first in her family to enter Higher Education, through Masters level study part-time whilst working full time, to an initial uncompleted PhD journey.
Her working life included 28 years as a Lecturer / Principal Lecturer in Photography, supporting wonderful undergraduate and postgraduate students. Part of this time was also spent as an Employability Manager across a large School of Art and Design, enabling and encouraging students to find their career catalysts and to drive the School’s Creative Industries agenda and strategy.
